So I just got an Nvidia Quadro FX 4600 PCIe card in the mail. Put it in, turned on my computer, and.....it emits a loud, high-pitched whine, and doesn't output a signal. The whine sounds digital, like a sine wave. That's really all I can say about the problem. Any ideas what's wrong? Thx.

Usually an indicator that the 6-pin power connector isn't connected, or isn't providing enough power. Make sure you are using the proper power connector for the card.
